This week on NXT, we stayed in Philadelphia from TakeOver: Philadelphia Saturday night as Roderick Strong took on Tyler Bate in the main event. The prize was a WWE United Kingdom Championship shot at "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne. Would Bate continue his rivalry with Dunne or would Strong get a shot at becoming the first American to claim the UK gold?

As is the norm with Bate, submissions started the match between the two. Strong would open up with his signature, backbreakers, for nearfalls early on Bate to soften him up for a potential Strong Hold. Bate was favoring his back after being sent into the corner before the break and Strong continued to work him down as the match returned. Bate landed uppercuts to start his comeback and followed with a German suplex. Another suplex and a standing shooting star press from Bate continued the offense, but it would be Strong countering out of a Tyler Driver '97 and landing a knee in the corner that would set up the Strong Breaker for the win and a shot at Dunne.

TM61 returned against the Ealy Brothers and Nick Miller and Shane Thorne looked like they hadn't lost a step. While Miller got isolated after TM61 controlled early, it was Thorne who made the hot tag to set up Thunder Valley for the victory. After the match, the two said they were "The Mighty" and The Mighty Don't Kneel in a callback to their old team name.

Nikki Cross opened the night against Lacey Evans and took it to Evans early, trapping her in the ring skirt and using her traditionally unorthodox brawling techniques. Evans managed to throw Cross off the top rope, but Cross was able to recover and land her swinging fisherman's neckbreaker for the victory. Cross had to be held back by the referee from going for seconds on Evans.

NXT TakeOver recaps featured Shayna Baszler asking the interview team to visit NXT Women's Champion Ember Moon in the trainer's room to see who the real winner was after Moon defeated her, Adam Cole telling NXT Tag Team Champions Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly that SAnitY will pay after he lost to Aleister Black, The Velveteen Dream saying "Dream Over" after defeating Kassius Ohno, Tommaso Ciampa avoiding an interviewing after attacking Johnny Gargano, and NXT Champion Andrade "Cien" Almas saying Gargano was at home watching him in the Royal Rumble after retaining his title against him.

Next week, NXT returns and features Fish and O'Reilly defending their tag team titles against SAnitY, while Adam Cole will take on Killian Dain.
